We need a house sitter

Auckland - Rodney

Vicki

We are looking for someone to look after our dog (Sookie, golden retriever, age 13) and 2 cats (Hex and Odin, domestic short hair, age 12) for 3 nights/3days. The cats are super easy going and will just need feeding twice a day, they come and go whenever they want, no litter tray to change. The dog is also very relaxed and needs fairly minimal care. Just feeding once a day, on lead walking ideally everyday but only for 20 mins or so. She is also fine to hang out at home too. She is old and slow so doesn't do anything strenuous, particularly stairs and hills, but she loves cuddles. We have a beach 3 minutes walk away and a reserve behind the house.

We also need someone who is happy to do raw feeding - we don't feed our animals biscuits/wet food. We feed blocks of mince and bones like chicken necks. We will leave clear instructions so you know what to do but it's not complicated, you just get something frozen out and defrost it ready for the meal.

The house has most mod-cons including unlimited wi-fi, washer/dryer, heatpump/aircon, dishwasher, super king size bed, a single bed and a cot if needed. There is also a big covered space outside with heating and there's minimal plant care needed just the odd watering if it's not been raining.

Really close to plenty of beaches and bush walks, only 35 mins to Auckland city, 25 mins to North Shore, 35 minutes to Warkworth.

We really want someone who will be respectful of the house, look after our stuff and be kind to the animals. No parties and smoking only outside of the house.

Had a great week in this home, adorable family of pets, really well behaved and sociable. Home is very close to a gorgeous beach and near to shops etc, spacious and comfortable. Vicki and Gareth were welcoming, great communication, highly recommend!

Vicki was very friendly and made us feel welcome at her home. Suki, the lovely golden retriever, was a joy to look after and the two cats were very low maintenance. A great location- close to local walkways and the beach and a short drive to main highways going north and south.

Great communication and instructions from the onset and throughout the sit. An absolute delight, to look after this furry family. Sookie is great on the lead and enjoys her walks and outings. What a lovely nature she has. I fell in love with Hex, who enjoys her evening pats and smooches :). Thanks Vicki and Gareth, for inviting me into your lovely home. I really enjoyed this sit.
